SoFA Successes

On Friday of last week, more than twenty students from colleges and universities across Kentucky gathered at Georgetown College for the opening reception of "On the SoFA: State of Fine Art," an exhibition on view in the Anne Wright Wilson Fine Arts Gallery through January 4.

In addition to hearing about "Opportunities After Graduation" from panel members Becky Alley of the Lexington Art League, Peter Morrin of the University of Louisville's Hite Art Institute, and Charla Reed of the Kentucky Arts Council, audience members viewed captivating examples of student art work in a wide variety of media.
